80 Acres Urban Agriculture, Inc. currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, showing a high degree of dispersion in the patent review process. The presence of 4 distinct art units for 4 actions indicates that the company's innovations are being evaluated by many different specialized groups, each with its own specific expertise and examination criteria.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is GURSKI, AMANDA KAREN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the busiest examiner only handles 1 of the 4 total actions, the prosecution process is entirely decentralized among 4 distinct examiners. This distribution means that the company must adapt its legal arguments to the individual styles of 4 different people. The variety of 4 distinct art units further emphasizes the need for a versatile prosecution strategy that can address the unique requirements of each technical field simultaneously across the 4 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
